Enough with the zombie craze...

Yeah enough already! I love myself a good zombie movie but when it's just stuffing to fill out plotholes with then no thanks.


Blocking anyone subscribing to the moronic alpha/beta tripe.

And Vampires too. Really sick and tired of vampires.

"I mean what's next? Peter Pan with zombies? Winnie the Pooh with zombies? Frozen with zombies? Avengers with zombies? Batman with zombies?!? My head just hurts with the thought of it... Why does Hollywood always have to milk everything till death..."

Hahahahaha! This is great! I stopped reading the posts after a while, as they got longer and longer, and more defensive or offensive. Connor has a point, guys. I too am tired of zombie movies (excepting Shaun of the Dead).

I have read the original Austen novel many times. The script borrowed as much as was possible under the constraints of the zombie apocalypse. I was just kind of hoping that Bingley's sisters would get eaten first, but no such luck.

Hang tough, Connor.

It's the same with anything. One movie does really well at the box office and suddenly everyone's at it.
You can say the same thing about all the superhero/comic book films coming out right now. Vampire films over that last few years boomed too.

Zombies are just an easy target (in more ways than one). You can insert them into anything just for the "lets see how this plays out" query.
Also that's why they work so well in games, they're just cannon fodder - there's practically no explanation required just kill or be killed.

Plus if you are a true fan of Zombie films you would know there's a whole sub-categorisation of 'Infected' and 'Zombies'. These films can play out very differently, which is why there can be so many different productions. There's not too many genres like that.

We've already had the Avengers with zombies!

zombie movies became something like a popular sub-genre of disaster movies rather than horror.

they are not even about the zombies than the atmosphere. you got a post-apocalyptic setting which in itself is popular nowadays but with constant danger, fighting, human instincts playing a major role and drama. the zombies are the easiest way to put that into motion. CGI monsters are expensive, and the whole "they bite you you got turned" can easily get used for drama. while zombie movies fall under horror category, its starting to grow it out. besides horror, they belong to disaster, action and drama as well, while other horrors tend to cover less. they work for both the big screen and tv series, while with other ideas like demons, or ghosts its harder to make a story for tv series out of it.

I wouldnt say the current zombie craze is pushing other kind of horrors out, the "haunted house with - preferably woman and children - creepy ghosts" is still a thing, there are like a dozen of horrors like that coming out every year, Im getting tired of them more than zombies as they use the same formula and limited variety of tricks - dark rooms, scary sounds, jump scares, pale ghosts there for a second then the character double checks not anymore...etc. compared to them zombie movies tend to be refreshing.

of course Id appreciate it if hollywood would try out new stuff, but as I myself dont know what, I cant blame them for not knowing either. zombies are definitely a step up from slasher movies at least.
